Abstract (en)

[origin: US8702322B1] An optical fiber connector preloaded with an adhesive is provided. The optical connector includes an optical fiber-receiving passage. The passage includes a first passage section extending inwardly from the first face, and the first passage section has a first width. The passage includes a second passage section extending inwardly from the second face, and the second passage section has a second width. The second width is less than the first width. The passage includes a transition passage section located between the first passage section and the second passage section. The transition passage has a variable width, and the variable width of the transition section decreases as the distance to the second face decreases. A meltable adhesive composition is located within the transition passage section and is configured to bind an optical fiber to an inner surface of the second passage following melting and solidification of the adhesive composition.
